Ingredients

  1. 1 lb fresh tuna (sashimi-grade), cut into 1-inch cubes
  2. 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
  3. 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  4. 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  5. 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  6. 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  7. 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  8. 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional for heat)
  9. 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  10. 2 cups cooked sushi rice or brown rice (warm or cold)
  11. 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  12. 1/2 avocado, sliced
  13. 1/4 cup sliced radishes (optional)
  14. 1/4 cup scallions (green onions), chopped
  15. 1/4 cup edamame (optional)
  16. Seaweed salad (optional)
  17. Pickled ginger (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the tuna: Cut the tuna into 1-inch cubes using a sharp knife for clean cuts.

  1. Make the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, garlic powder, and chili flakes (if using).
  2. Marinate the tuna: Place tuna in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over it, toss gently, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Prepare the rice and toppings: Cook rice as per package instructions. Slice the cucumber, avocado, radishes, and chop the scallions.
  4. Assemble the poke bowls: Place a scoop of rice in each bowl, top with marinated tuna, cucumber, avocado, radishes, and any other toppings.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and drizzle extra sesame oil or soy sauce. Add edamame, seaweed salad, and pickled ginger on the side.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately while fresh or refrigerate components separately for later assembly.

Notes

  1. Vegetarian poke: Replace tuna with marinated tofu, tempeh, or grilled vegetables.
  2. Spicy poke: Add sriracha or spicy mayo to the marinade for extra heat.
  3. Tropical twist: Add diced mango or pineapple to complement the tuna.
  4. Different fish: Swap tuna for salmon, yellowtail, or shrimp for variety.
